What do you mean by "highlight" - actual colored highlighting like you'd do
in a book or magazine, or *selecting* just a single word?

If the latter there are any number of ways:

1- Double-click the word
2- Click at one end then Shift-Click at the other
3- Drag from one end of the word to the other
4- Navigate to the beginning of the word, then hold Shift+Control while
pressing Right Arrow (or start at the right end of the word & use the Left
Arrow)

If the former, use the Highlighter Tool on the Formatting Toolbar (prior to
2007) which works with either of the first 3 suggestions above, or you can
select the word first then go to the Highlighter tool.

Look in Word Help for other ideas for selecting text using the keyboard or
mouse.
